Didn't see an already existing thread, so here we go. Discuss, predict, etc.

Wild Card Weekend:

Colts over Texans 20-14. A great grinder of a game, but the Colts just look unstoppable right now.

Seahawks over Cowboys 21-13. The battled tested Seahawks take the win.

Ravens over Chargers 23-17. Will be a great game. L.A.'s got the better offense, with a good defense as well. I just think Baltimore's shut-down D takes over the game, and Lamar Jackson does his job well enough to get some points on the board. If it was in L.A., I'd probably go Chargers. Baltimore's a good home team.

Bears over Eagles 24-14. The Eagles hot streak runs into the buzz-saw Chicago defense, who keeps the ball away from Philly long enough to grind out a win.

Houston 28, Indianapolis 17 - biased pick is biased, but Houston runs away with this one after Andrew Luck leaves the game with an injury in the 2nd quarter.

Seattle 17, Dallas 10 - This is one of those games that just suck to watch, but there’s that one guy saying “now THIS is great defensive football!” just to try and prove that he’s a “real” football fan.

Baltimore 24, LA Chargers 21 - Philip Rivers never gets going, and Lamar Jackson does just enough to get the win.

Chicago 38, Philadelphia 10 - Philadelphia never gets off the ground against Chicago’s stifling defense, in a game featuring two pick sixes.

Baltimore 28, Kansas City 13 - Never doubt Andy Reid’s ability to choke in the playoffs. That is all.

LA Rams 24, Chicago 21 - This game will be a classic. After the Bears shut out LA in the first half, the Rams come roaring (bleating?) back in the second. The game ends on a game-winning field goal. This could go either way - just switch the scores, but none of the remaining dialogue.

New England 14, Baltimore 10 - In a snoozefest, New England just edges Baltimore after Lamar Jackson finally doesn’t step up big. After all that’s happened this season, the Patriots still ended up in the Super Bowl once again.

LA Rams 31, New Orleans 23 - In direct contrast to the AFC Championship that happened just a few hours before, this one is a thriller. Drew Brees and Jared Goff trade touchdowns in the first half, but then it’s Aaron Donald that makes the difference, getting a huge sack that transfers momentum firmly in favor of the Rams.

Super Bowl

LA Rams 36, New England 35 - The Super Bowl lives up to the hype, with huge swings from both sides. Todd Gurley is largely absent from the game, but Jared Goff steps up in his place. When New England scores late in the game (right after a very questionable call by the officials), and another clear facemask missed by the officials, the Rams still manage to get to the 5 yard line - but are then stuffed on 3 subsequent Gurley runs. On 4th down, with the game on the line, Goff scrambles out of the pocket for a score. They go for 2, and get it. The Patriots have 30 seconds to get into field goal range - and then Aaron Donald stripsacks Brady. He is SB MVP, and the Rams fans here demand that we now call the Rams the “Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams”.

What I'm curious to see is if a team, like the Saints, win, will Drew Brees retire on top? I wouldn't be surprised either way, whether he decides to play one more year with his stellar surrounding cast or ends his Hall-of-Fame career just like his the other (soon-to-be) enshrined QBs of John Elway and Peyton Manning.

I don't think he really can. It seems he's cash poor due to AdvoCare, owning multiple Dunkin' and Jimmy John's franchises and co-owns that Walk-Ons restaurant chain who sponsors the Independence Bowl.

When you sue a jeweler for $9M after a nearly a decade, either you are foolish for not getting jewelry appraised before buying or cash poor because it's obvious he needs liquidity and playing QB is the quickest way to get cash.
